...Assassins!" Into a tiny military courtroom shuffled ten hard-core Communists, held for three years without trial on charges of conspiring with the rebels and secretly reconstituting the banned Communist Party. Prominent among them: Journalist Henri Alleg, 39, author of the international bestseller, The Question (TIME, June 9, 1958), a surreptitiously written and smuggled-out account of the tortures that he suffered at the hands of paratroops of General Jacques Massu's 20th Division. Conspicuously missing was an eleventh defendant: Communist Maurice Audin, a mathematics professor in whose home Alleg was captured in 1957. French authorities say he escaped...
Many Yalemen attribute their collections more to a healthy inheritance than to a love of art fostered by their alma mater. Says Averell Harriman, '13: "My interest in painting was not born at Yale. I was exposed to good art all my life." Harriman acquired Henri Rousseau's Rendezvous dans la Foret from a dealer in Paris in 1935; the dealer had bought it from a washerwoman to whom Rousseau had given the painting in payment for her services.

Rockefeller, but the second was an iron-fisted and energetic Dutchman named Henri (later Sir Henri) Deterding, who joined the Royal Dutch Co. shortly after it was founded in 1890 by Dutch nationals, soon took over as its head...
...John Cozad never was the same. He toyed furtively again with faro, failed as a resort owner in Atlantic City, N.J. When he died in New York in 1906, he had reached a century he did not understand. But he earned his monument. His younger son was Painter Robert Henri, a founder of New York's famed "Ashcan School'' of realists; in a Manhattan gallery hangs Henri's stunning portrait of Gambler ohn Cozad, dark eyes brooding on a private empire whose...
